What to Do: Check for visible leaks but do not attempt repairs yourself. Contact a Gas Safe Engineer to diagnose and fix the problem.
Overview: The boiler’s pressure gauge shows low pressure, possibly due to a system leak or air trapped in pipes.
What to Do: Try topping up the boiler pressure (consult your manual). If the problem persists, call a professional.
Overview: Whistling or banging noises often result from limescale buildup on the heat exchanger.
What to Do: Regular servicing can prevent kettling. If the issue arises, contact a qualified engineer for a system flush.
Possible Cause: The boiler isn’t providing heating or hot water, possibly due to frozen pipes, pressure issues, or a faulty diverter valve.
What to Do: Check the pressure gauge and reset the boiler. If it doesn’t resolve, reach out for professional support.
Uneven heating, cold patches, or fully cold radiators are signs of air or sludge in the system.
What to Do: Bleed the radiators or request a chemical flush to remove sludge.
Freezing weather can block the condensate pipe, shutting down the boiler.
What to Do: Gently thaw the pipe with warm water. Insulate the pipe to prevent future freezing.
Frequent cycling on and off can indicate a malfunctioning thermostat or issues with the pressure. Evaluate the thermostat settings and consider having an expert take a look if the problem persists.
Hot water is unavailable, but the heating works, likely due to a faulty diverter valve.
What to Do: A diverter valve replacement is necessary. Call a professional for this task.
Older boilers with a pilot light may experience outages caused by drafts, faulty thermocouples, or dirt buildup.
What to Do: Do not relight repeatedly. Call a Gas Safe Engineer to clean and repair the system.
A boiler that won’t power up may have electrical issues, often linked to the circuit board (PCB).
What to Do: Check your home’s power supply and fuses. For PCB-related issues, contact an engineer for replacement.
